The incursus looks like an aliens head too (the movie).
It always looked like someone stuck a lance to it and tried to ram into some other Incursus in space joust.

I remembered the space banana used to refer to the Apoc(alypse).

I've generally known it as a 'Navy Exeq'.
Mostly I'm used to just shortened versions of the name or acronyms, some that come to mind:
Exequeror - Exeq
Confessor - 'fessor
Oneiros - Oni
Vagabond - Vaga
Dominix - Domi
Scythe Fleet Issue - Fleet Scythe (or SFI if typing, but it doesn't feel right to say aloud)
Scorpion Navy Issue - Navy Scorp
Cerberus - Cerb
Vexor Navy Issue - VNI
Either that or the more common names on comms*:
Anything fast - 'they're in some kitey bullshit'
T3Ds - Cancer
Thorax - take your pick of penis/**** joke
Falcon/Griffin/Rook - 'fuckn ECM'
Garmur/Orthrus - 'don't bother engaging' aka bullshit aka balanced legion
Any fleet bigger than mine - dirty blobbers
Any fleet smaller than mine - wusses for docking up
Any slow brawling ships - lol free kill (inb4 bait)
Cloakies - 'little bitches who won't take a real fight'
*Disclaimer: I've been most of these at some stage. Except for Balanced Legion. **** balanced legion.

If any of you are wondering why I posted this thread it has to do with Lore, player made lore. These names are what WE, capsuleers, call our hulls. Much like veterans talking about their ships, planes and vehicles throughout time and space. Those who remember and look back talk about things in a different vernacular than the layperson would. How would we talk about our experiences in a few hundred years of immortal capsuleer life? What would we have seen and felt in our times as pod pilots? The destruction? The joys, the sadness of defeats? Would these be meaningful in an immortal life? Would they be relevant?
Many people during war times throughout history have raised beer or spirits, made love and done everything they could because tomorrow they might not return.... We have become exempt from this reality even though we can thrust ourselves into combat and kill or be killed countless times. So have we become exempt from such a reality as well?
These ships are our lore life. Connected to them as much as we are to our arms and legs.... literally... how do we call them? How do we look upon them? When even our own arms and legs become expendable? When our bodies become so much more than a meat popsicle.... Tossable like our beer cans and water bottles on some god awful land fill of time....
Our stories are our own... immortal and neverending... burned into our collective psyches..... forever.... we are EVE!!! Will YOU be remembered?!!
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.

If a Dominix is blown up, is it then known as French Fries?

You know, the Gallente Federation flag looks quite similar to the Roman flag; why not add "SPUD" under the emblem on the Dominix to make it even more similar? |

No love for the "Nado and the 'Pest :( OK, here I am to add them to the list.
I used to own a doctrine ship named BallSac(rilege).
And a good codename for command destroyers is "Jiggle desies" . |

When I was in Tso's, we just added "ion" to the end of everything. I believe that started because one guy couldn't pronounce Hyperion, and just said "High-purr-ion" all the time, and everyone else was making fun of him about it until it kinda stuck.
I have to say though that my favorite ship nickname is "Loss Mail" (aka: a PvP-fit Phoenix)
That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Personally I call that ship 'Das Boot'. Yes, I know it means 'The Boat', but it does look like an upside-down boot so bilingual bonus ho!

What I am actually surprised in is that not a lot of ships, other than the domi, have really gained wide spread notoriety in their naming conventions. Theres some good ones in here gentlemen, and gentlewomen as well I hope, so keep them coming. It makes me wonder if it is the current meta in terms of the fits of specific ships that get named internally by alliances, think Wrecking ball or Slowcat, rather than specific ship names that end up being more prevalent and thus getting changed more as CCP nerfs/buffs and changes them over the years.
Typically ships/hardware/etc seems to be what it is and doesnt change functionally over the same "hull" type. I think this could be attributed to the quickness of gaming situational changes versus real life counterpart development speeds lagging in general and usually making a clear distinction between two different subsequent models or needs.
As we know game changes occur much faster than real life so its a nice way to condense the time frames, much like breeding bacteria in a lab to look for mutations can occur much faster than with say even mice or rabbits let alone mammals or humans. I shall ponder these things more.
Thanx for all the input so far.
